Pig Out Cake

Combine cake ingredients and mix well. Bake in rectangle pan at 350 degrees for approximately 30 minutes or until inserted tooth pick comes out clean.

Combine icing ingredients and spread on cooled cake.

Cake does need to be refrigerated until ready to serve.

This really looks nice in a glass pyrex dish or a trifle bowl.

and prepare pudding according to box.

When cake is cooled.

Layer as follows:

Answer 3

Rice Pudding;If you want a more traditional rice pudding, omit the amaretto and almond extract, and increase the vanilla extract to 1 tablespoon. Also you'll need an extra 1/4 cup of water.

Ingredients

8 cups 2% reduced-fat milk

1 cup sugar

2 tablespoons butter or stick margarine

1 1/2 cups uncooked long-grain rice

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 large egg

1/2 cup golden raisins

1/4 cup amaretto (almond-flavored liqueur) or 1/4 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 (8-ounce) carton low-fat sour cream

Ground cinnamon (optional)

Preparation

Combine first 3 ingredients in a heavy Dutch oven; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat (about 15 minutes). Stir in rice and salt; reduce heat to medium, and cook 45 minutes or until rice is tender. Stir occasionally, about every 5 to 10 minutes initially, and then as pudding begins to thicken, watch and stir every few minutes to prevent sticking. Do not boil. Place egg in a bowl; gradually add 1 cup hot rice mixture to egg, stirring constantly with a whisk. Return egg mixture to pan; cook 1 minute. Remove from heat. Add raisins, amaretto, vanilla, and sour cream; stir well. Sprinkle with cinnamon, if desired.

Yield

Answer 6

any type of cake

Answer 7

you could make a cheesecake and cut it into tiny bite size pieces and out a chocolate shaving or something on top of each piece.

Answer 8

I vote for fruity Jello.Make up two or three boxes of Jello and before

it sets, stir in a large or two small cans of a good fruit cocktail. Be

sure you drain the juice from the fruit or the extra liquid will prevent

the Jello from setting properly. There is always room for Jello and

the fruit is good for you.
